Gillian Carson, originally from England, now resides in charming Essex, CT, where she finds inspiration in the rich history of New England and her English roots. Her passion for crafting jewelry manifests in pieces that harmonize old-world elegance with modern sensibility.

With a distinct floral and vintage aesthetic, Gillian specializes in crafting heirloom-quality hairvines, combs, pins, and earrings using exquisite materials such as pearls, quartz, crystals, and opals. Each piece is meticulously handcrafted in Gillian’s Essex studio, embodying a commitment to authenticity and durability without the use of glue.

Gillian’s creative journey began with a profound appreciation for handcrafted artistry, rooted in the timeless practice of fabric manipulation. Combining traditional sewing techniques with contemporary jewelry-making, she brings her designs to life from initial sketch to final refinement.

At Carson & Co, every creation starts with a sketch, translating imagination into detailed blueprints that guide each meticulous step of production.

Gillian is a featured artist at Spectrum Gallery’s Autumn Arts Festival on the Madison Town Green.
